From my experience, AI-assisted development is not good at complex systems. If a feature or fix requires a lot of changes in different places, or if the business logic is complex and difficult to understand, then the AI usually, in my experience at least, doesn’t do a good job with it. And because the system is large/complex, you have to have a correct understanding yourself of how the system works if you want to know if the AI changes will actually work as expected, and what edge cases it addresses and omits.
Absolutely. The great thing is you can ask ton of questions quickly to build your own knowledge quickly. It makes you faster not by doing the understanding for you. It can write tests to prove things pretty quickly. It can help find connections. Not fool proof ever, but it speeds up searches in your code base.
